The effects of the following compounds (most of which had been proved to inhibit mitotic progression of pollens) on the shape of the membrane of human erythrocytes were tested : myrmicacin (3-hydroxydecanoic acid) and its derivatives, even-numbered C4-10 fatty acids, and some C10 diols. They all induced a shape change of the membrane-exvagination (crenation) type at pH 7.4 to different extents, depending on their structures, but not at pH 6.0. The shape change induced was reversible. The structure-activity relationship and the mode of action were compared with those for the action of these compounds on pollen growth.
